Supporting local people to share their environmental knowledge in scientifically valid and strategically targeted ways can lead to improvement in environmental governance, environmental justice and management practices. Mbendjele hunter-gatherers in the rainforests of Congo are working together with the ExCiteS Research Group at University College London to make their local knowledge about commercial hunters' activities improve the control of commercial hunters and diminish the harassment they often experience at the hands of \"eco-guards\" who enforce hunting regulations. Developing and deploying a system for non-literate users introduces a range of challenges that we have tried to solve. Our Anti-Poaching data collection platform, running on Android smartphones, is based on a decision tree of pictorial icons and employs various smartphone sensors to augment observations. We describe its development here.","PeriodicalId":240004,"journal":{"name":"ACM DEV '13","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116013945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often it is necessary to work with always up-to date maps and to share collected knowledge with others. Outdated maps can entail wrong decisions, e.g., navigation can fail because of the seasonal unavailability of mapped ways, or can take significantly longer due to missing street network data. Incomplete or incorrect classified landuse or natural feature data can result in wrong apportionment of land. The solution to this problem are always up-to-date and updateable online-maps on mobile devices displaying the information that matters for a particular project. In many cases this information is not provided by available map services and needs to be collected and put on the map. OpenStreetMap (OSM) provides open and free geographic data collected by volunteers or donated by mapping agencies. OSM is the natural choice in ICT4D contexts, as everyone can use OSM data and can contribute any kind of spatial data to OSM.","PeriodicalId":240004,"journal":{"name":"ACM DEV '13","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133385954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borriello","doi":"10.1145/2442882.2442894","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2442882.2442894","url":null,"abstract":"Remote health monitoring and disease detection in the developing world are hampered by a lack of accurate, convenient and affordable diagnostic tests. Many of the tests routinely administered in well-equipped clinical laboratories are inappropriate for the settings encountered at the point of care, where low-income patients may be best served. To address this problem, medical researchers have developed innovative rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that are capable of detecting diseases at the point of care within a single patient visit to a clinic. However, for these new diagnostic technologies to be effective, tools must be developed to support the health workers who will be responsible for administering the tests and interpreting their results. This paper describes the design and initial implementation of ODK Diagnostics, a smartphone application that supports health workers in three ways: (1) by facilitating the creation of digital job aids that provide in-context assistance to users administering RDTs, (2) by automatically interpreting the test results and delivering the diagnosis, and (3) by automating the data collected regarding the type and outcome of the test. Our technical evaluation suggests that the system is capable of accurately reading RDT results and is ready to be field tested with health workers to ensure that it is usable and appropriate for point-of-care settings in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":240004,"journal":{"name":"ACM DEV '13","volume":"141 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129603614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
